Originally by: Aidan Patrick Edited by: Aidan Patrick on 01/12/2010 20:35:39 Awesome reward.. but unforutnately I am a bit miffed about one thing. Yes, it's my fault.. but let me explain.
Initially when I read the dev blog stating the 5 million SP reward I shouted out with glee, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All! I got so excited I completely overlooked the server name "Singularity". As you can imagine I was very dissapointed and sad when I read into it a little more.
All in all it kinda sucks that theres no reward for this on the live server, though for the amount of work it probrably isn't warranted.
Now when mirroring these servers we lose rewards we get for helping mass test. This is not a good thing in my opinion and the fact that that reward isn't something I get to keep.. Makes me not want to test. I'm still going to though because I love CCP and I love EVE, but why don't you guys do this...?
Make a script or program that can be ran after each re-mirror of the server. That script does one simple task.. It just adds mass test SP awards to the mappable SP pool on a character. You basically just keep a spreadsheet or database with a list of characters and their current reward pool. Each time they participate and get a new reward you just add the new SP amount to the already existing pool. Then, each time the server is re-mirrored everyone gets their rewards back.
This has several pros and only one con. Let me elaborate!
PROS
- Testers Actually Feel Rewarded
- Promotes return of testers for more mass test events
- Once implimented, simple to "Inject Skillpoints" over again. ;)
- Allows return testers to properly test skill dependent features even if they do not already have the skills required. They just use their reward pool and apply it to the features needing to be tested.
CONS
The implimentation methods I could think of were these...
- Redeem Items, afterall a CCP blog post referred to skillpoints as items
- Post re-mirror script
Anyways it's obviously not a huge concern, but something like this needs to be a little more clear on where the rewards are going (Calling the test server Sisi AND Singularity can be misleading at times) and a little bit more longevity on rewards would be nice.
Seconded.
Thirdeded.
Fourthed. ----------

Originally by: Assaj Ventress Remember, if you have all learning skills a V and participate in this mass test you will end up with over 10 million skill points to apply as you like on Singularity.
Oh Sweet Moses.
Well I guess close to 7m will be huge enough ----------

Originally by: Maldonia This is probably a completely silly question, but was unable to log in to the test server due to installation issues throughout the day. No chance I get the sp anyway, right?
Depends if you had a training queue up and running by the time the server went down :) ----------
